[QUOTE="SuZir, post: 598703, member: 14557"] Well, she doesn't plan getting murdered... And she may have different understanding how she would like to be remembered by. Or she would not care how she would be remembered by, because, duh, she is dead and it wouldn't matter her any more. I have learned that when trying to impress a teen (difficult child or easy child) with these types of things, you have to use examples they can relate to. And because all teens tend to be bulletproof in their mind, even the most terrifying examples don't rattle them. Then again, they may be very impressed by much smaller scale examples they can actually relate to. Don't try to find your good bad examples from news of things they are sure will not happen to them. Either try to find them from very similar to them (kid who got bullied and laughed at school because something in social media) or from something they would like to be. Celebrities in area of your kid's interest and their screw ups with social media can be extremely effective. Or stories of social media mistakes costing someone something your child dreams of.
